I mean specific settings, not the settings button. I know where the settings is at.

A simple right click... just like anything else you've used.

Because it interferes in the work place, and personally...it is annoying as hell. I keep UAC enabled for my family that do not do alot of messing around with their systems. I like to keep mine disabled and not get prompted to choose YES or OK for every little damn thing I do.

Using Windows 8 daily, I see maybe 1 UAC prompt every few days. What exactly do you tinker with?

Running thinks like msconfig, device manager, System, command prompt....and much much more. I even used MSCONFIG to disable UAC and UAC still is enabled. So I have to either make a policy change, or registry change, to completely disable it.

UAC is ok for home users but completely useless for corporate as we have our own methods of protection in place.

Until they stop torturing themselves with full screen apps. You don't have to use them. And you can keep the larger full screen start menu, or you can install 3rd party software to modify your computer to your heart's content. See? Not so bad

UAC is one layer among many, post XP, that helps protect the OS. Even on a corporate network, it helps to protect the machines. For example, you still see XP machines compromised, even with "corporate methods" in place. All it takes it Betty the Secretary to open one poisoned email...

I have a question, not a trolling question but a question about Business practices by Microsoft.

"Why hasn't MS conducted a publicity campaign for Windows 8 like they did for Windows 95? The reason I ask is, Windows95 was a huge OS because of MS moving from the old Win3.xUI.

Now we have an OS, produced for tablets( an IT specialist told me at the VA hospital today it's a tablet OS) But I'll go out and say flat out that there are touchscreen desktops and laptops but they are not as pervasive as MS "THOUGHT" they would be when they came out a month or more ago saying, OEM's were to blame for lackluster adoption of Win8.

Why has MS spent so much $$$ on an OS if they weren't even going to PROPERLY invest in a publicity/release campaign like they did for WIN95 which for all tense and purposes are identical in that BOTH OS'es were a huge UI game changer in that regard...

anyone? If I owned MS or ran that juggernaut, I'd be firing ALOT of people from top to bottom for shoddy marketing.

again NOT trolling this is something I thought about while laying in my hospital bed today while on Dilaudid of all pain medicines... like an enlightenment...

What amuses me about the arguments in this thread, and countless others, is how people who don't like Windows 8 claim that everybody they know doesn't like it either and people who DO like Windows 8 claim the converse. Coincidence?
